Game Control Rankings — 2024 College Football
2024 Game Control Rankings

2024 season — 137 teams ranked

Game Control measures how thoroughly a team dominated possessions across a full game — combining win probability trajectory, time spent controlling the game, and time spent leading. GC Off is a team's own control score, SOS-adjusted for opponent quality. GC Allowed is how much control opponents generated against them — lower is better. GC Net is the difference: positive means the team consistently controlled games, negative means they were often on the back foot. NOTE: data not available for all games
